spirits aren&#8217;t separate from everyday life, but part of it. Built out of the Market&#8217;s shelves, conversations, and long days behind the counter, it reflects how people actually shop and enjoy: <em>casually, curiously, and often on the way to something else.</em></p><p>At its core, The Tipsy Egret is about approachability. It takes the guesswork out of choosing a bottle and replaces it with a more grounded perspective &#8212; what&#8217;s worth bringing home, what pairs well with the moment, and what simply tastes good without overthinking it. It&#8217;s also a place to learn &#8212; whether that&#8217;s discovering new wines, exploring spirits, or finding options you might not have picked up otherwise.</p><p>Shaped by the rhythm of the Market&#8230; morning coffee, afternoon rushes, and evenings preparing for gatherings &#8212; it carries the same sensibility: <em>thoughtful, reliable, and rooted in community.</em> It&#8217;s less about collecting and more about opening, sharing, and coming back for the next one.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wines of the Month — May

The brand is part of The Duckhorn Portfolio, a well-established California-based wine group known for building accessible, premium-driven brands across the U.S. West Coast. When you think of Duckhorn, it&#8217;s easy to land on the familiar &#8212; Decoy, their well-known Cabernet, or classic Sauvignon Blanc. But the portfolio runs much deeper. With standout labels like Calera and Migration, Duckhorn has built a collection that spans some of the most respected wines across the West.</p><h3>Expansion into Oregon &#8212; The Current Chapter</h3><p>In 2025, <em>Greenwing</em> expanded beyond Washington into Willamette Valley &#8212; one of the most respected cool-climate wine regions in the U.S.</p><p><em>This marked a major shift:</em></p><ul><li><p>Introduction of Pinot Noir <em>(2024 Vintage)</em></p></li><li><p>Introduction of Pinot Grigio<strong> </strong><em>(2025 Vintage)</em></p></li><li><p>Broader focus on <em>West Coast diversity</em> rather than a single region</p></li></ul><p>The move was intentional &#8212; Willamette Valley is globally known for Pinot Noir thanks to its <em>cool nights, long growing season, and volcanic soils,</em> which produce wines with freshness and balance.</p><h3>Greenwing 2024 Pinot Noir</h3><p>There&#8217;s a quiet depth to this one &#8212; built on bright red fruit, soft spice, and the kind of structure that doesn&#8217;t demand too much of you. The Willamette Valley shows through in its balance: cool-climate freshness with just enough weight to carry it into the evening.</p><p><strong>Tasting Notes:</strong> <em>Bright and expressive with aromas of cherry, raspberry, and a touch of wild strawberry. On the palate, soft tannins carry notes of red plum, subtle spice, and a hint of earth, finishing smooth with a light, lingering warmth.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3>Greenwing 2025 Pinot Grigio</h3><p>Lighter, sharper, and made for the warmer side of the season. This Pinot Grigio leans into crisp fruit and clean acidity, with a refreshing edge that keeps it moving from first sip to last.</p><p>It&#8217;s an easy companion &#8212; best pulled from the fridge, poured cold, and enjoyed without much thought. The kind of wine that finds its place at the center of long afternoons and unplanned gatherings.</p><p><strong>Tasting Notes:</strong> <em>Crisp and refreshing with notes of green apple, pear, and citrus zest. A clean line of acidity runs through the palate, complemented by a subtle minerality and a bright, dry finish.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3>About the Artist</h3><p>The Greenwing label features an original feather illustration by New York artist <strong>Nicolas V. Sanchez</strong>, inspired by the green-winged teal duck native to the Pacific Northwest. His work has appeared in <em>VOGUE Italia</em>, <em>Vanity Fair</em>, and <em>New York Magazine</em>, with exhibitions spanning the United States, China, and Italy &#8212;bringing a refined, editorial edge to the bottle. Which if you know anything about us, a pretty bottle never hurts when shopping. </p><div><hr></div><h3>Why Buy It From the Market &#8212; </h3><p>There&#8217;s a difference between grabbing a bottle and bringing one home from the Market.</p><p>Everything we carry is selected with intention&#8212;wines we&#8217;ve tasted, trust, and would open ourselves. It&#8217;s a focused selection that takes out the guesswork.</p><p>Add in a quick recommendation or pairing, and it becomes more than a purchase&#8212; it&#8217;s a better way to choose your next bottle.</p><div class="poll-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;id&quot;:506899}" data-component-name="PollToDOM"></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
